Long Fei looked at Cheng Wanjing with a smile and said, "When I was in Shu State, I heard about the twenty-four generals of the Heaven-Piercing Pavilion. I didn’t expect that Duke Cheng, despite his advanced age, could still make a contribution here."

Cheng Wanjing said, "I’m restless at home, so I came here to teach the youngsters. You’re lucky today; my grandson isn’t here. Otherwise, I would have him compete with you for sure."

An elderly man hurriedly said, "Old Cheng, don’t bother with him. This kid only knows how to boast. At such a young age, what treasures could he possibly have?"

"Kid, if you’re feeling inadequate, you don’t have to compete. We won’t make it difficult for you. Just leave this place quickly; don’t embarrass yourself here."

"Yeah! If this gets out, people will think we’re bullying you old guys!"

"This alchemy cauldron is unparalleled in the world, except for the town-guarding treasures of the various sects. No one else has a chance. I advise you not to pretend here and quickly leave the academy!"

"..."

Long Fei looked at them and sighed, "Well, it seems as though as a young man, I’ll need to take advantage of you a bit."

His storage ring flashed, and he took out the Flame Emperor Cauldron obtained from the Flame Emperor Palace.

This ancient artifact silenced the scene immediately; they didn’t expect Long Fei to actually take out a cauldron, and it looked like an item with some history.

The people present were not very proficient in alchemy, so they remained silent and waited for Wuu Xianyun to confirm.

When an extraordinary artifact appears, there must be auspicious omens.

As soon as this item appeared, the clouds on the mountain turned into fiery colors, as if enveloped in flames.

Li Chunfeng furrowed his brows and looked up at the sky, feeling secretly startled.

He had seen many extraordinary items in the world.

But such a treasure that can affect weather phenomena is exceptionally rare!

Wuu Xianyun stared at the cauldron, his body trembled, and eagerly extended his aged arms, wanting to touch it and said, "This, this, may I take a look?"

"Feel free!"

Long Fei smiled and extended his hand.

Wuu Xianyun reached out and touched it, like a young man touching his beloved for the first time, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes, "This, this is the artifact of ancient Saints?"

Long Fei smiled lightly and introduced, "Not daring to claim it as a Saint of the Immortal Realm, but in the Human Realm, it can be considered a Saint. This cauldron belongs to the ancient Emperor Flame, and it just so happened that I picked it up. It’s been a long time since it has seen anyone, causing a bit too much commotion."

Everyone was flabbergasted, not expecting the kid to have an artifact of the ancient Emperor!

In ancient times, the ancient Emperor could command immortals and deities.

Moreover, all pills in the Human Realm are attributed to Shennong, the Emperor Flame as the ancestor.

Wuu Xianyun’s True Immortal Cauldron, in front of this cauldron, is merely a flickering flame, not daring to compare with the sun and moon.

Princess Taihua also showed a surprised expression, then laughed towards Cheng Wanjing, "Grandpa Cheng, aren’t you going to kneel and call him master?"

Cheng Wanjing’s face turned red, anxiously turned to Wuu Xianyun, "Old Wuu, speak up! Is this thing real or not?"

Wuu Xianyun hugged the cauldron, not wanting to let go, choking back his words, "It’s real, this item looks real at first glance, how could it be fake! It’s a pity I’ve spent my lifetime searching for the world’s cauldrons only to see one now!"

"You’ve truly put me, Old Cheng, in a tough spot."

Cheng Wanjing slapped his thigh, full of regret.

He hadn’t expected someone as young as Long Fei could possess such a great fortune.

Such a Saint artifact is not something a young person like Long Fei can possess.

Generally, someone who gets a great item rarely dares to reveal it openly like this.

A common saying is, ’A harmless man’s possession will lead to his end.’

Once the treasure is revealed, death is inevitable!

Now that Long Fei has revealed it, the disciples outside must know.

By the time tomorrow dawns, this news will undoubtedly spread throughout the entire Great Tang Empire.

Princess Taihua exclaimed excitedly, "Grandpa Cheng, Duke Cheng, Junior Brother Cheng, you are a person of stature, will you not keep your word?"

Cheng Wanjing firmly replied, "You little girl, when has Old Cheng ever gone back on his word? Acknowledging my mistakes openly, Old Cheng has done plenty of embarrassing things, one more won’t matter."

He truly seemed easygoing, hugged his belly, and knelt before Long Fei, loudly cupping his fists and shouting, "Master!"

"You are too kind, Duke!"

Long Fei smiled and gestured Princess Taihua to help him up, then turned to Wuu Xianyun, "Elder Wuu, shall we start the pill competition now." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Wuu Xianyun didn’t dare compete, intimidated by the sight of the cauldron.

He quickly shook his head, "I concede, I am sincerely convinced."

Someone next to him unwillingly exclaimed, "Old Wuu, how can you be so timid? He said earlier he’d compete with you in alchemy without using that."

"Exactly, Old Wuu, match your skills against his. Don’t use that Saint cauldron, let’s see if he can outshine you."

Someone seized the opening in Long Fei’s words to counter.

Wuu Xianyun furrowed his brows, contemplated briefly, and proposed to Long Fei, "Young friend, how about this! We compete as per your previous statement. If I lose, this Dragon-Patterned Immortal Cauldron will be yours. But if I win, would you lend me the Flame Emperor Cauldron to refine a pill once? I’ve lived so long, my greatest wish is to produce a perfect pill!"

Cheng Wanjing exclaimed from the side, "Old Wuu, I think this isn’t fair. You’re competing with your True Immortal Magical Treasure against my Master’s Human Immortal Magical Treasures, isn’t that taking advantage?"

His tone shifted quickly, immediately standing next to Long Fei, speaking up for his master.

A group of elders coughed awkwardly, signaled Cheng Wanjing to take note.

Long Fei appeared calm, "Alright! Let’s proceed as Elder Wuu said. If I lose, I’ll lend you the Flame Emperor Cauldron once."

"Alright, it’s settled then!"

Wuu Xianyun eagerly accepted, thinking Long Fei’s youth made him a bit too arrogant.

The True Immortal Cauldron and Human Immortal Cauldron are items of different levels.

He had experimented countless times before, the Human Immortal-level cauldron simply cannot produce Human Immortal-level pills.

This time, he was very confident.

They agreed on a common Qi Replenishing Pill, with the same formula and identical ingredients.

The outcome solely depended on their respective skills.

Looking at it, Wuu Xianyun holding a True Immortal Cauldron still had the upper hand.

The elders had great confidence in him.

During the duel, Princess Taihua went over, laid a hand on Cheng Wanjing’s shoulder, and teased, "Junior Brother Cheng, call me Senior Sister quickly!"

Cheng Wanjing’s face went dark, muttered to her, "Do you believe I’ll go to the palace immediately and propose to the Empress Dowager to marry you to my grandson?"

Princess Taihua responded nonchalantly, "Then go! Even if I marry your grandson, you’d still have to call me Senior Sister. If you don’t, I’ll tell everyone that you, an old man, aren’t true to your word and lack integrity!"

"I most hate when people accuse me of lacking integrity!"

Cheng Wanjing reluctantly shouted, "Senior Sister!"

Princess Taihua laughed heartily, "Good Junior Brother, rest assured, I’ll take good care of you in the sect!"
